Abstract

A panel-shaped partition in accordance with an embodiment is provided herein. The panel-shaped partition comprises two oppositely positioned lateral edge sections that are in the form of reinforced bearing axes (A) and an elastic panel-shaped carrier matrix that extends between the lateral edge sections in a longitudinal direction of the partition such that a wall section is formed. The partition features at least one flexurally rigid carrier matrix reinforcing device that is in the form of longitudinal profiles on or through the carrier matrix which extend transverse to the longitudinal direction of the partition to increase the flexural rigidity of the partition against bending moments, the moment axes of which extend transverse to the axial directions of the bearing axes, in comparison with the flexural rigidity of the carrier matrix.
